Is it easier to manifest big things than small things?

[petewilliams]

I know this sounds almost counter-intuitive, since it would make more logical sense that smaller things are easier to get than big things, but I was wondering whether the exact opposite is true with intention-manifestation?

I've read in several places that one of the keys to manifesting what you want is to really get into the FEELING of what it is you want to attract. Now I tend to find that the larger things invoke stronger feelings than the smaller things (for example, I feel more strongly about wanting to attract a partner than I do about wanting to attract a cup of coffee) - so perhaps these things will actually come easier than small stuff?

I haven't really got a point to make, it's just something that crossed my mind and I wondered what anyone else thought! Anyway, I'll stop rambling now and go to bed... :P

I'm curious about what the denizens of the board say about this as well. I've been fortunate to have manifested some small stuff, though I can't really be sure if those were things I manifested or it's just coincidence. Still waiting on the big stuff, stuff that's got more feeling attached to it..

One of the things necessary for manifestation is an open and flowing emotional body. Everyone's is open and flowing as a default. You awareness of your emotional body may vary at times going from total cluelessness to very acute.

When we want something that is easy, like a cup of coffee, we don't put much fanfare into it. We go get it and we don't get in our way. The emotional flow stays open and we get our coffee. Easy.

A new mini-mansion or sporty car might stir up your own internal programming and start closing the emotional space down. You may feel more with the big things, because the self is saying "hey, notice this space moving?" and that will trigger other programming about the space being too open and then we close the emotional space to deal with it. Hence the big things may take us more time to manifest because we have to work out our programming on them, whereas a cup of coffee doesn't stimulate any reaction at all.

Thanks Dharma, I hadn't thought of it like that before, but it makes a lot of sense. In fact looking at my initial post I mentioned that bigger things tend to invoke stronger feelings - but I guess those feelings can equally be the negative ones which say "there's no way you can attract that just by thinking about it".

Once again it all seems to point back to that famous quote: "get the inside right and the outside will take care of itself".

Believing to a big thing is more difficult than to believing to a little thing and you more conflicting thought about big thingsi think.

Dharma,i like your posts,but did you get angry to me cause i am asking similar questions over and over or something like that?(I mean you didn't answer my last private question)

What's the difference between $50 and $5M?

Self concern or how will we be affected.

There is no real self concern about $50. If we want $50 we'll find it with mostly ease and probably quickly, but $5M has loads of self concern attached to it.

How will I make it?
What will I have to do?
Will I become a jerk in the process?
Will I have to do something hard?
Will it take me a long time?

The belief program's main feature is self concern and self concern is limitation, so as soon as you start asking questions about how and when and what you have to do, you will immediately self limit yourself and the manifestation.

I find it relatively easy to make small to medium sums of money, but large amounts are difficult? Why? Self concern.

The ego (self concern) kicks in and goes through the process, labelling, questioning and doubting on every level, undermining the manifestation with past and future.

Manifestation is easy when there is no or little self concern (limit the ego) we don't care so much how we will be affected, so there is no attachement and no limitation.

The easiest way to limit and stop ego and self concern is to center yourself into the moment and close out anything that isn't in the moment like past and future. Past and future will undermine manifestation as strongly as ego.

I agree we start to manifest small things first. I realize when I jump to manifest big things, my beliefs will immediately react. My beliefs will immediately start to make noise and keep reminding me "Impossible!".

This reaction gives me feelings of unsecure, fear to fail and worries. It became a stronger emotion and thoughts than what I want to achieve. Finally I'll have a big bunch of "not getting what I want" thoughts.

I start to experience low energy and fear. This is what I'll do to get what I want:

1. Create a goal I want to achieve.
2. Break it down to smaller pieces.
3. Manifest the small pieces.
4. Once I get the small pieces, I'll increase it so there's no resistance.
5. Look what I've achieve and reorganize what I want to achieve.

Thanks for all the senior members sharing. I finally get to understand about the emotional body and self concern.
